Why this must be read:
Illya encounters Ellie, a young American woman abroad, while acting as courier for U.N.C.L.E. His initial suspicion that she may be Thrush is allayed by a background check. As Thrush closes in, he uses her luggage to hide microfilm while offering his services as tour guide. Ellie is charmed by his gentlemanly manners and hospitality, but everything unravels when Thrush catch up to her and reveal the truth.
This is a fast-paced Illya-centric story that does an excellent job of exploring the conflict between professional responsibilities and personal ethics. Although he worries about dealing with innocents in Napoleon's absence, Illya proves himself more than capable under the circumstances. Ultimately, we find him to be a chameleon - suspicious one moment, chivalrous the next - and capable of a startling ruthlessness that would put any Thrush villain to shame.
